THE RARE OLD, FAIR OLD STATE OF
WASHINGTON
(Poem read by Mrs. Carrie Virginia
Shaw Rice at banquet tendered the Wash
ington State Press Association, at Everett,
July 27, 1907).
I singl the charms of Washington, how fair
her shores appear,
Returning from an alien land—and old
home friends, how dear!
Let poets of Yamato praise her dreamy
Inland Sea,
Fair Puget'fl smiling waters are more beau
tiful to me.
Oft have I gazed on Fuji San whose sacred
heights arise
Solemn and awe-inspiring against Ootemba's
skies;
Gazed on great Fujiyama, so mystical and
lone,
And wondered in what changing light our
own loved mountain shone;
For, dearer than the rest,
And better than the best
Ts this golden region of the Setting Sun;
You may travel anywhere
And find nothing 1 to compare
With the rare old. fair old State of Wash
ington.
Though we touched at fragrant isles in
summer seas,
Where the laancourous ilang-ilang perfumed
the passing breeze:
Though tmeples rose in beauty acrosos the
Kwannon plains.
And miles of cherry blossoms made pink
the country lanes;
Though wierdly smiling idols were seen on
every hand
And poesy and rapture seemed over all the
land; —
Yet. dearer than the rest.
And better than the best
Ts thtis golden region of the Setting Sun,
You may travel anywhere
And find nothing to compare.
With the rare old. fair old State of Wash
ington.
